Understanding and Maintaining Components

Using one of the storage management tools (see
),verify
that the replacement RAID controller has the correct firmware.
Note:
Active-active and active-passive dual-controllers
require the same version of firmware on both controllers.

(Active-Active Mode only.)
Using one of the storage management
tools (see
), relinquish the partner controller.
Replacing a “Killed” Controller
If one controller detects that the other has a problem, it will kill it,
and output an appropriate event. If it is determined that the
controller has a permanent failure, then it must be replaced.
Whether in active-active or active-passive mode, simply replace the
defective controller and ensure that the firmware on it is at the
same level as the surviving controller. If required, upload the
correct firmware. Also, ensure that the new controller is set to the
same operating mode.
The new controller completes its boot cycle and goes online
automatically.
